What does "contino" mean in this line?
"Hoy que la indiferencia del siglo me desola sé que ayer tuve dones celestes de contino."
I know "tino" is insight but "contino"?

I don't know what the continos are but:

Or, had instructions from heaven to continue? ( dones canbe gift of the gab?)
Possibly I'm barking up a gum-tree.
